The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 218 Under the Imperial Power
Zhu Gaochi received a letter from Jinzhou Forest Farm and learned about the recent events in Liaodong. Zhu Di sent someone to send an official document from the palace.

Among them are the Kanhe and official documents sent by Jinzhou Wei.

"Li Xueyan is not of high rank, but he has made a great reputation in Beiping, Daning, Liaodong."

Through this person's behavior, Zhu Gaochi seemed to see the officialdom of Ming Dynasty 100 years later.

Jin Zhong, who was sitting below, said with a smile: "This man has a bit of courage. I heard that he is unruffled in the face of a knife, and many people praise his integrity."

"I'm afraid that he made a bad start and let future generations learn from him." Zhu Gaochi said worriedly.

It is not easy to take the right path, so many "smart people" want to take shortcuts.

After 100 years of the Ming Dynasty, the atmosphere in the officialdom has deteriorated, and everyone does not put more emphasis on doing things, but thinks they are stupid.

Officials like Hai Rui who strictly abide by the rules and regulations should be the norm, but they are hostile by most of the official circles, which shows the trend.

"One generation does one generation's work, and who can take care of the future." Jin Zhong said with a smile.

Zhu Gaochi was speechless.

indeed so.

Future generations will not be able to avoid this kind of atmosphere, so what can he do, he has the ability to change the future social atmosphere.

Jin Zhong laughed a few times, and then asked cautiously: "I don't know, my little prince, do you have any ideas about the choice of the crown prince?"

According to the matchmaker's words, parents are the masters.

There are no absolutes.

But the prestige of the little prince is growing day by day, Zhu Di is worried about the thoughts of the eldest son, and it is not easy to ask in person, so he entrusts it to Jin Zhong.

Jin Zhong has tendencies, and his political ideas are close to Zhu Gaochi, so he said directly: "This subordinate proposes the Guo family."

Hearing this, Zhu Gaochi was not angry, but an inexplicable emotion rose in his heart.

This is the history of seeing change firsthand.

If it is done step by step, the concubine is the Zhang family, and the son born is Zhu Zhanji, the next generation of emperor.

An ordinary woman from a small family.

But this woman has talent.

If it was changed to the Guo family, the target would be Guo Cailian. Zhu Gaochi had seen her several times, and every time she was in front of him, the girl would lower her head.

Talk to her a few words, and her face will turn red, all the way to the base of her ears.

The sound is very soft, giving people a waxy feeling.

The impression is not bad, although it is not as beautiful as my aunt Xu Miaojin, but she is more beautiful.

Thinking of his aunt Xu Miaojin, Zhu Gaochi was a little lost in thought.

This famous woman in history.

When she became an adult, even Zhu Di was moved, which is quite impressive.

But this girl is an extremely daring character, she didn't give Emperor Yongle any face, she directly refused, dispelling Zhu Di's thoughts.

Seeing that the young prince did not speak, Jin Zhong thought that the young prince disapproved, and was puzzled.

The young lady of the Guo family, I heard that the little prince was not happy, and the little prince even gave her a hairpin.

Jin Zhong couldn't help persuading him, "The sage is sick, and even Beiping has heard the news, so it's not a trivial matter."

"Although the people in the imperial court failed to impeach and asked for trouble, they are people close to the emperor's grandson, and the emperor's grandson trusts them very much, to the point of obeying their words."

"In case the new emperor ascends the throne one day, those people can't help but jump out. Grab more power now, so that we can compete with him in the future, so that the palace has room to bargain."

"Ha ha."

Zhu Gaochi came back to his senses, and after hearing Jin Zhong's words, he couldn't help but want to laugh.

Those people didn't expect to bargain with the feudal lords.

There is only one result they want.

The feudal king was raised as a pig.

Enfeoffment system.

From the bad point of view, after a period of development, it is easy to threaten the imperial power, cause civil strife in the country, and make people suffer too much.

The most obvious example is the rebellion of the Eight Kings of the Jin Dynasty, which almost killed the Han people.

But without a vassal king, isn't there any disadvantage in using generals?
The misfortune of generals in the Tang Dynasty left endless troubles.

The world has been a bitter general for a long time.

The Song Dynasty was inherently deficient and strategically passive. It can be said that there are some pots left over from the Tang Dynasty.

The Tang Dynasty regarded Huayi as a family, unreserved technology and knowledge, and made great progress in the frontier.

In the open Tang Dynasty, although it was the brilliance in the history of civilization, the frontier ethnic groups who acquired the technology of the Central Plains also experienced the fastest development in thousands of years.

So in Zhu Gaochi's view, everything has pros and cons.

It's like giving up your seat on a bus.

Before the Olympics, those who refused to give up their seats would be condemned by the whole society as being low moral. After the Olympics, it became another extreme.

The nature of helping the elderly is the same, from one extreme to another, most people can't always look at things peacefully.

Zhu Gaochi pondered for a moment, sorted out his thoughts, and said slowly.

"At the beginning of the founding of my Ming Dynasty, I first expanded the border with generals. When my uncle grew up, Grandpa Huang gradually took over the frontier military from generals as an uncle."

"The first ones were the second uncle, the third uncle and my father. The third uncle took over Feng Guogong's power, and my father took over Xu Guogong's power."

"The second uncle loses in character, the third uncle loses in military ability, and only my father wins. That's why there are ulterior motives to say that King Yan is the leader of the northern border."

In the early Ming Dynasty, martial arts were powerful and complex.

The vassal kings successively took over the power from famous generals such as Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Fu Youde, Feng Sheng, etc. The foundation of King Jin came not only from the Feng family, but also from the Xie family of Marquis of Yongping.

King Jin's concubine was born in the Xie family.

Xie Cheng, the patriarch of the Xie family, has joined in every battle since Zhu Yuanzhang, and participated in countless battles. In the main battles with Zhang Shicheng, Chen Youliang, Xu Shouhui, Fang Guozhen and the crusade against the Yuan Dynasty, Xie Cheng has participated in repeated military exploits.

It can be said that this person made an important contribution to the establishment of the Ming Dynasty. Afterwards, he was also indispensable in the border wars and the southern chieftain.

The city of Taiyuan in Shanxi was also expanded by this person. It can be seen that all of its influence in Shanxi was taken over by King Jin.

Jin Zhong is a descendant of a nobleman who fell in the previous dynasty.

It is the family business that has declined, but in terms of knowledge, he still inherited a lot of knowledge, otherwise he would not have jumped from nothing to become the right long history of Yan Wang Changshifu.

Being in a high position, coupled with his previous vision, he quickly grasped a lot of high-level information, so he did not feel unfamiliar with Zhu Gaochi's words.

The body is leaning forward, the eyes are solemn, and there is a faint realization.

Seeing Jin Zhong's expression, Zhu Gaochi continued to explain to him: "The king's own rights only have the power of three guards."

"A few thousand people are less, and no more than [-] people."

"With such a small force, it can't pose a real threat to the imperial court, which has an army of millions. It is the grandpa's wrist."

"Unless all the vassal princes in the world oppose the emperor and unite, they will have the strength to defeat the imperial court. This is also the back door left by the emperor's grandfather."

"The advantage of doing this is that it not only maintains the momentum of the country's development, stabilizes the frontiers, and makes the interior peaceful, but also avoids the danger of strong branches and weak roots."

"But everything has changed."

Zhu Gaochi waved his hand, scaring Jin Zhong's eyes back.

"Uncle suddenly died of illness, and Lan Yu's ambitions swelled. At such a critical juncture, Grandpa Huang had to strengthen the rights of the feudal lords, so that he could start the big Lan Yu case."

"Now my father is in charge of the military power in Beiping, and my third uncle is in charge of the military power in Shanxi. In the eyes of some officials in the court, they are already regarded as tigers."

"Right now, either the east wind overwhelms the west, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind. If you want to compromise and return to the original point, unless the new emperor makes a move to reconcile, the political situation can return to stability."

"Do you think my cousin, the grandson of the emperor, has such a bearing?"

Zhu Yunqi is one year older than Zhu Gaochi, so Zhu Gaochi has to be called Zhu Yunqi's cousin.

Jin Zhong shook his head.

He has never been in contact with the emperor's grandson, and he doesn't know the character of the emperor's grandson, but according to his guess, he should not have this ability.

Not everyone can become a talent like Prince Yan's son, it's hard to come by.

Zhu Gaochi stared at Jin Zhong.

In his heart, Ge Cheng, the old man in the house, is not as important as Jin Zhong.

It's not because of the future he foresaw, but because of reality, Ge Cheng has a family background, so it's him who left the palace.

And everything about Jin Zhong comes from King Yan's respect.

Since Zhu Yuanzhang changed the system of the Changshifu, there was an invisible line between the vassals and the courtiers, separating the two.

in other words.

Jin Zhong, who has no fame, no fellow subjects, and no mentor, loses the Yan Palace, and he loses everything.

But Jin Zhong, a son of a lonely nobleman, regards his future as his life, more important than ordinary people, more important than his life.

Therefore, Jin Zhong was the most determined group of people who encouraged King Yan to rebel.

Now Jin Zhong, thinking of maintaining the power of the palace, has no idea of ​​rebellion at all, and all the preparations made by Zhu Gaochi are based on the premise of rebellion.

In the senior management of Changshi Mansion, I need a firm supporter, and Zhu Gaochi needs a little Jinzhong.

The words cannot be too clear.

Then whether he can realize something or not depends on Jin Zhong's own character.

Jin Zhong's complexion was ugly, Zhu Gaochi understood it, it seemed that Jin Zhong had figured out the current situation, it was not as simple as he originally thought.

Everything that happens must have a reason.

Civil servants are not born brave and must use their heads to fight against the princes, but the current environment has given birth to this group of people.

Just like Huang Zicheng and others in Yingtian Mansion.

Ru Xun of the old faction is still used to the old political environment, which is why the two became enemies from the same faction.

Zhu Yuanzhang was able to appoint Huang Zicheng, Fang Xiaoru and other political newcomers as Zhu Yunqi's Minister of Gu Ming.

Then these people must have certain talents, which made Zhu Yuanzhang look at him with admiration, and they were definitely not mediocre.

The room was quiet for a while.

Jin Zhong took a deep breath, the ins and outs of the little prince's words caught him off guard and caught him off guard.

Now he can't answer the little prince, because his head is really messed up.

Zhu Gaochi did not persecute Jin Zhong.

He was not afraid that Jin Zhong would betray him, but he didn't say anything, it was just Jin Zhong's own thoughts.

More importantly, Zhu Gaochi believed that Jin Zhong was a smart man.

Smart people don't do stupid things.

On the way back to Jin Zhong, the little prince's words kept ringing in his mind, either the east wind overwhelmed the west wind, or the west wind overwhelmed the east wind.

"Is it really impossible to go back to the past? Wouldn't it be convenient to give in to each other?"

"wrong."

Jin Zhong frowned.

"People have the heart to push forward, how can they be easily satisfied, get something, and want more things."

"Once the balance is broken, how can it be restored to its original state." Looking through history, Jin Zhong finally came to a conclusion.

Enduring the shock in his heart, Jin Zhong calmly replied to the prince.

"The little prince has no idea, it's all up to the prince to decide."

Zhu Di was incredible.

Before he got engaged to Xu Miaoyun, he was afraid that his father would mess up the mandarin ducks, so he went to ask Zhu Yuanzhang himself.

"Boss is so ruthless." Zhu Di shook his head and said.

Jin Zhong couldn't help but said: "The little prince is not heartless, he even gave Miss Guo's jade hairpin as a gift."

If the eldest concubine is the daughter of the Guo family, and the palace is combined with the strength of the local snake Guo's family, then King Yan has a chance to intervene in Liaodong.

Although he hasn't made up his mind yet, Jin Zhong's subconscious behavior has already revealed his intentions.

The little prince didn't express his opinion, but he was beating the side drum hard.

It's just that the original intention at the beginning and the original intention now have undergone major changes.

"Well, the widow knows about this."

"I retire!"

Seeing that the prince had no other orders, Jin Zhong bowed his hands and left the study.

soon.

Zhu Di wrote a letter and sent it to Ying Tianfu.

Ying Tianfu.

Uzbek, Ryukyu, Myanmar, Dogan, Java, Samarkand, North Korea... came to Beijing to pay tribute.Annan came to pay tribute, but was rejected again.

Annan abolished the monarch without authorization, and has been refused tribute successively, which aroused the anxiety of Annan's new monarch, and continued to send envoys to Beijing in order to obtain famous weapons.

Wu Jie, a military general in Guangdong who was in charge of Japanese preparations, said that there have been fewer and fewer Japanese pirates along the coast recently, so he wondered if he was secretly plotting elsewhere.

The sage is asked to order the guards along the coast to guard against being attacked by Japanese pirates.

Zhu Yuanzhang urged the Ministry of War.

Then it was decreed: "In case of marriage, funeral, sickness, death and other difficulties, the rich people in the village will help with money, and the poor will help. Plow in spring and harvest in autumn, and work together so that the people can live in harmony."

……

Zhu Gaochi, who learned the news about Yingtian Mansion from Changshi Mansion, saw the copy in his hand, and sighed, "This is the spiritual civilization construction of Ming Dynasty, and the current era belongs to Scorpion Lababa, the only one in the world."

Let’s talk about time travel and being a commoner.

In ancient times, no matter what the lower limit was, it was stronger in China than abroad.

New Year's Eve.

Zhou Xing, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, came to Peiping alone on horseback.

Peiping is prospering year by year.

Only the tens of thousands of workers in China Heavy Industry has tens of thousands of new consumption forces, which has driven huge consumption.

This consumption is not worth mentioning in later generations, but it is a big deal in Daming.

Zhou Xing looked left and right curiously, and went all the way to the gate of King Yan's Mansion to plead guilty and knelt on the street.

The people on the street were expelled by the guards.

The door officials didn't dare to make random decisions, and immediately ran to the palace to report. The first one to come out was Ge Cheng, who pulled Zhou Xing up with a smile.

"General Zhou, why is this so?"

"The impeachment of King Yan was accused by many people of the last general. I would never dare to accept this matter, but it is the truth to meet people who are unkind, so I came here to be punished by the prince."

"Hahaha, it's too much, too much." Ge Cheng pulled Zhou Xing up and walked towards the palace.

Zhou Xing followed up obediently, not daring to continue making fools.

After passing through the rockery arch in the veranda, in Zhu Di's study, Zhou Xing dared not enter, knelt heavily in the courtyard, and shouted loudly.

"The last general, Zhou Xing, pay homage to the prince!"

"It's Zhou Xing!"

There was a sound of laughter in the room, and then Zhu Di's figure appeared at the door.

Zhou Xing lowered his head.

Qin Wang led Ningzheng to lead an army to conquer the rebels in Taozhou.

Jin Wang led Zhou Wang to lead the guards from Henan and Shanxi out of the fortress, and Yan Wang led the general officer Zhou Xing out of the Liaodong fortress to build city defenses and garrison fields.

According to Tianfu's will, Zhou Xing had no choice but to find a way to intercede for himself.

This is the general trend, the trend from the imperial power.
